Norwich City are on the hunt for a new manager following the sacking of David Wagner and as such, now is an excellent time to check out the very latest next Norwich City manager odds which you can find when registering with any of our featured UK betting sites today.
Update: 29.05.24
David Wagner was dismissed by Championship side Norwich City on the back of the side’s 4-0 thrashing by Leeds United in the second leg of the play-off semi-final and the club are now holding advanced talks with FC Nordsjaelland boss Johannes Hoff Thorup.
Third successive Championship season
Norwich City have been searching for a new manager following the sacking of David Wagner earlier this month, his dismissal coming on the back of a thoroughly disappointing 4-0 thumping by Leeds United which saw the Canaries sent packing from the play-offs. The East Anglians had finished the regular campaign in sixth position and Wagner’s successor will prepare the side for a third successive season in the Championship.
Ongoing discussions
As things stand, FC Nordsjaelland boss Johannes Hoff Thorup is deemed the man most likely to be in the dugout at Carrow Road for the start of the 2024/25 campaign, the 35-year-old reportedly having ongoing discussions with Norwich City with regard to the vacant position. Thorup has been manager of Nordsjaelland since January 2023 and he took them to second position at the end of the 2022/23 campaign, thus earning for his side a place in the Europa Conference League qualifying rounds.
Completely fresh start
The Norwich City faithful will be looking for a completely fresh start ahead of the new season and the first task for Thorup will be to get the fans onside and firmly behind his plans for the team. At the time of writing, Thorup is huge favourite to take the reins in the coming days and most bookmakers have closed the book on this betting market.

Norwich City failed to make it through the Championship play-offs and manager David Wagner fell victim.
Smashed to pieces
Norwich City enjoyed an excellent second half of the 2023/24 Championship campaign, the Canaries hauling themselves up from 17th position into the play-offs, but having held Leeds United to a goal-less draw in their semi-final first leg at Carrow Road, the East Anglians were smashed to pieces in the return leg at Elland Road, resulting in the surprise sacking of Wagner.
Odds slashed
As things stand, Johannes Hoff Thorup is the man deemed most likely to replace Wagner in the dugout at a best price of 5/4 (lowest odds 4/7) according to the leading UK bookmakers , the odds on the FC Nordsjaelland manager taking the reins being slashed from around 16/1 over the past couple of days.
Differing opinion
Second in the betting at odds of 4/1 is former Hull City boss Liam Rosenior who was dismissed by the Tigers earlier in the month after the side failed to make it into the play-offs by a mere three points. Rosenior’s sacking was apparently due to a differing opinion over the style of play and he was in the middle of a contract lasting until 2026.
Leading contender
Next in the market at a best price of 8/1 is Will Still who was one of the leading contenders for the vacant Hull City hot-seat, however that club is now on the verge of appointing German manager Tim Walter. Still has departed from Reims having steered the side to an eleventh-place finish in the French top-flight.
